My personal preference (but that's just personal preference) is qmail. With qmail, it's trivial to pipe received emails into a different program. But qmail takes care of the nitty gritty details of accepting and queuing mail. No doubt Postfix and a whole batch of other mailservers make it easy too.
A long time ago, I did something similar - accepting emails, and stuffing it in a database. With qmail it only took a small C program to put it into a DB2 database. With Perl, it would have been shorter. (But the DB2 manuals came with a C program which was easier to adapt than to write a Perl program).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
